We have a few people near to us reporting back with some positive results using the Superchips Flashpaq. No it doesn't have adjustability on the fly and some of the other bells and whistles, but for the cost, it really does have a lot of bang for your buck :U:

I know that Spartan is not a sponsor here, but he has had some excellent feedback from people when they have purchased the DPF delete and some custom tunes.

Whatever route you go, the best answer is a DPF delete kit. The DPF regen cycle is what is killing your mileage.

HI 2500HeavyDuty, I don't want to lose my 5 year/ 100,000 mile warranty, I also heard that if you remove the DPF, you will throw a code.:ouch:

THANK YOU ALL, for the advice, I'm looking for the MOST MPG I can get !!! the factory HP and TQ, is more than I really need, I don't TOW, PULL, or RACE !!! I use this truck like a car, I also heard that PROGRAMMERS and CHIPS will clog the DPF ????

2500HeavyDuty 10-27-2008 11:31 PM

banks say they wont clog the dpf, they say thier tune is better at controlling smoke than stock

Your mileage WILL NOT go up with any tuner unless you remove the dpf. All you will do is force it to go into regen more often which will cause you mileage to be even worse. Plus puting on a tuner will void your warranty even if you leave the dpf on. They leave a foot print that the dealer can see. The Spartan Phalanx is the only tuner (so far) not leaving a foot print. At least that is what I am hearing from guys who have had theirs in the shop, and Spartan as well. I think that a Ford rep can tell if they look deep enough but it cant be found at the dealer level. Either love your Ford the way it is or take a chance with the warranty.

HI JMART, My 2008 F250 only has 241 miles, only had 6 days, but the computer is telling me that I'm getting only 9.2 MPG WTF, my 1999 F250 was giving me 15.5 to 19 MPG, and I wanted MORE !!!! I called FORD dealer and they told me it will get better, they say about 11 to 12 THAT SUCKS !!!!! I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A DODGE with a CUMMINS !!!!!:madd:
